Topic: Good HIV Book (Read 1225 times)

I've been looking for a good book on HIV ... While I'm not newly diagnosed I'm still new in many ways ... There has got to be some good non-internet based literature out there that can provide information on HIV and living with it ... I don't have the time to sift through thousands of pages on Internet documents so a one-stop resource would be a true treasure.

The fist one I read when I was diagnosed and it really helped me. I liked it a lot and highly recommend it. A few people here mentioned the second one so I bought that one a few weeks ago as well. I did not like it as much as Gallant's book but it was still pretty good. Either one would be fine but I thought the first one had a more optimistic, positive, and humanistic tone.

P.S. "100 questions" was indeed a "true treasure" to me. I don't think I would be doing as well as I am today (diagnosed late July) if I had not read it. It opened my eyes to info I didn't have, made me feel much more optimistic, made me realize I was not alone, and gave me pointers on how to find additional resources.
